Like a scarecrow in a cucumber garden,
    their idols cannot speak.
    They must be carried
        because they cannot walk![a]
    Do not fear them
        for they can do no harm
        —nor do any good.”
There is none like You, Adonai!
    You are great
    and great is Your Name in power.
Who should not fear You,
    Ruler of the nations?
    For it is your due!
    For among all the wise of the nations
        and in all their kingdoms,
        there is none like You.
